City Hall Opens Vote Party Tuesday as Early Voting Sites Near Closing

Las Vegas plans a vote party at City Hall on Election Day.

The city will run the event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday at 495 S. Main St. It will serve free ice cream and hand out showgirl "I voted" stickers. City Hall polls open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. that day, and the location also accepts mail ballots.
